It is interesting to watch you fabricate an argument. I say what I mean and never attempt to hide my actual thoughts behind politically correct ones. If I thought that torturing the families of terror suspects was a good idea, I would have stated as much. If you knew your enemy, you would know that he believes that if we kill his family that they become martyrs and zoom right off to allah where they get a vw microbus full of virgins. He hopes his family dies at our hands and if he has to die, he hopes that it is either at our hands. Physical pain, however puts what he hopes in a secondary position to what is.
Spelling complaints? Please. So your position is that women should not have the choice to abort a pregnancy?
Are these your words?

Until it is viable it is in essence a parasite and the mother should have contol."
